I might end up doing the same thing myself and would also like to know.

With the exception of the firewall (still thinking about that black truck
bedliner stuff myself, although it does come in colors even if not exact),
most undercoating applied to underside and wheel wells is black and looks
O.K. I also saw an article in some kinda sport truck mag where they coated
the entire underside, inside and even inside of outer door skins with that
black truck bedliner stuff. They where doing it to reduce exterior sound
and perhaps enhance audio, but I was thinking about rusty Triumph frames and
tub undersides. I would also think that this stuff might even add some weight
to a Spitfire?
